i was wondering what tranny to use in a G2 teg. B18B/Turbo. anyway, i was originally thinkin about using the B18A tranny, because it is a cable setup, and the gears are pretty good. the more i think about it tho, i think i like the gear setup of B16 better. so what i was thinkin about was a 88-91 (SiR I) Y1 tranny, with an LS final drive (5th gear for highway cruising). these are my questions:

1.) i would use the stock shift linkage correct?
2.) are the gear ratios in a SiR I the same as SiR II
3.) how are they different?
4.) adding LSD to the SiR tranny, whats a good affordable Limitted Slip Differencial?
5.) does this seem like the most practical setup for you guys, too? Discuss.

 

1) yup
2) gear ratios in the SiR 1 and better
3) one is cable one is hydro, and they have a very slight difference in gearing
4) I would just get the stock LSD with the SiR 1 tranny....if not, I recomend quaife
5) seems like a good setup to me. the only tranny I could think of that I would rather have would be a b17a1 tranny with a quaife LSD

 

does a Type-R tranny have LSD? if so, could i use the LSD from that? that would be a lot cheaper. Quaife is pretty expensive, and im on a budget.

 

type R tranny does have LSD but I dont beleive it will work in the cable actuated trannies...your best bet would be to find the b16a y1 trans that came with the stock LSD.
